IIT Kanpur:
In my all post, I have not described in detail a heaven on the land of Kanpur, especially for me. That was indeed IIT- Kanpur. It has got a huge campus with a peaceful environment where a feeling of respect & humbleness arises inside the heart. It has sent out many distinct students to the world to spread the name of India.

Cricket:
Kanpur is also famous for the exaggeration of a simple line. Sahara once was in talks for IPL franchise before the recession. Nothing is yet final but people are damn sure than Subrato Roy about IPL Kanpur franchise. And forget to mention a special series of incidents a few years back would be Crime: A take on green park stadium. The incident was the entrance of a dog in one-day matches. It has happened 3 times at least in live in front of me. Pretty Hilarious interruptions of the whole police squad running after one dog. Also, GP is a brown park wicket for Ranji teams and turns into the lush green for international matches. Enjoy the account of Ken Herr about watching a match in Kanpur. You will be amazed, why I always give the point of view of foren baba's about Kanpur? For introspection, I am here na with Kanpur Series !!!

Dude, you make me nostaligic through your posts on Kanpur. I followed the link of the restaurants of Kanpur and immediately wanted to reach at one of those restaurants of Swaroop Nagar and binge myself there. May be sometime but then you need friends too to fully enjoy the evening.

I didn't go through your post fully and in detail, just casual reading. Reading them makes me feel sad and realize everything that I'm missing at present. Studying at IITK was my dream which never got fulfilled. Though It would have been fulfilled in present times when there are 14 IITs.
